Summary
Robert W. Chambers: The King in Yellow
Be careful with this book, read it at your own risk! If you flip through it carelessly, it could lead to fatal consequences, is the premise of this enchanting collection of short stories by Robert Chambers. Behind the title The King in Yellow actually stands a text that has a hypnotic effect, so that those who read it will arouse mischief! Yes, that's right, but if we reason further, you could be deprived of the many surprises and wonders that you will find in these supernatural stories, and we really wouldn't want to deprive you of the pleasure of reading all the horrors that await you there!" - it is a convenient invitation to read from one of the previous editions of The King in Yellow, a book that is categorized as Victorian Gothic prose, even if it contains elements of mythology, fantasy, mysticism and lovebirds. The first four stories are related to the unfortunate souls who dared to delve into the text of the infamous play The King in Yellow, and it is the reading of that fatal text that will bring earth-shattering changes to their lives. Chambers is a demanding writer who demands an attentive reader, because it is easy to get lost in the richness and dispersion of his utterances. H. P. Lovecraft greatly appreciated The King, and one literary historian wrote that it is "the most important book of American supernatural prose between Edgar Allan Poe and the modernists." In conclusion, The King in Yellow is a classic of the fantasy genre, strangely a bit neglected, which was brought up to date by the mention in the popular TV series True Detective, and Šareni dučan, with this first translation into Croatian, joyfully pulls out another literary gem from the (star) dust.
